Welcome to Sue's Website!
Sue’s delicate yet vibrant watercolours reflect a very immediate and enthusiastic response to her surroundings, and are sought after by collectors both in Ireland and further afield. Her paintings hang in private and corporate collections in Ireland, South Africa, England, Canada, Belgium, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, Japan and America. Her distinctive style has gained wide exposure through the distribution of cards and prints based on her paintings.
About Sue
Sue grew up in South Africa, where she followed a career in teaching. On moving to Ireland in 2000, she returned to her first love, painting. Her greatest pleasure is to work outdoors when weather permits, observing that when one is directly engaging with the subject, and can smell it, it shows in the painting. As a child she had been affected by the subtlety and luminosity of the watercolour paintings of her aunt, Yvonne Eales, and so finds watercolour her favourite medium. Her aim is to capture the essence of a subject while reveling in the magic of the watercolour medium itself, which allows a range from the diffuse and delicate to bold and juicy use of paint.
Sue's Exhibitions
Since living in East Cork, Sue has participated in numerous group exhibitions, and held five successful solo exhibitions at The Courtyard Gallery in Midleton. Her next solo exhibition here will be in November, 2008. She will also be participating in the Cork Art Fair at City Hall in September.
